Genesee Intermediate School District is requesting sealed lump sum bids for the GCI Expansion project at Genesee Career Institute in Flint, Michigan, with bids due October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The project is managed by Clark Construction Company as construction manager. A pre-bid conference was held October 5, 2026; Addenda 3, 4, 5, and 6 have modified scope and timing, with Addendum 5 shifting the deadline from October 15 to October 19.

The scope spans 14 bid categories: concrete and foundations (03A), masonry (04A), structural steel (05A), carpentry (06A), roofing (07A), metal wall panels and siding (07B), windows and glazing, metal studs and drywall (09A), painting and wallcoverings (09B), flooring (09C), fire protection, HVAC and plumbing (23A), electrical (26A), and sitework with utilities, landscaping, and asphalt paving (31A). Recent addenda have clarified material specifications, vinyl graphics responsibility, and construction sequencing for utility tie-ins (second shift or weekend work only, requiring dual approval from Clark Construction and the District). Allowances total $112,500 across categories 06A ($10,000 plus 160 laborer hours), 09B ($2,500), and 31A ($100,000 for subbase undercutting). Multiple alternates are specified, including roofing materials and demolition work. Material availability issues in Addendum 6 address discontinued and unavailable finishes with designated allowances pending formal product approval.

Bid security of 5% of the total base bid is required, either as bond or certified check. All bids must include sworn and notarized familial disclosure statements complying with Michigan Compiled Law 380.1267 and Iran Economic Sanctions Act certifications.

Contractors must comply with Michigan's Prevailing Wage on State Projects Act (Public Act 10 of 2023) and maintain comprehensive insurance with the District and construction manager as additional insureds. Overhead and profit caps apply: 15% for trade contractors, 5% for subcontractors on change orders.
